Very nice car but that'd be enough to put me off!
There are horror stories for everything.

Indeed. The B7 RS4 is quite high on the list. The only car I've ever had any hassle in (attempted carjacking at traffic lights) was my 8P RS3.

It's enough to put you off nice cars altogether

At the risk of offending people I looked briefly at the Golf R as a replacement for the RS6-unfortunately my experience of them has been that almost every R I’ve seen on the roads has been driven badly by some idiots. It’s a very affordable performance car which of course brings it into the budget of tools. Just my opinion of course but didn’t want to be in the same camp (I can be a toolbag all by myself without the help of a car )
